This story has been updated to include a statement from Oak View Group and more details on the reason for the cancellation.
Chris Brown’s Memphis concert scheduled for Oct. 18 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium has been canceled.
A cancellation notice was posted Oct. 4 on Ticketmaster. Logistical production-related issues led to the concert’s cancellation.
Oak View Group, which was helping to promote the event, issued this statement:
“Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX performance in Memphis on Saturday, October 18 has been canceled. While the renovations at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium continue as planned and on schedule, it has become clear they will also prevent the show from delivering on the exceptional production experience for fans. Refunds will be issued through Ticketmaster.com.”
According to Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued via the original method of payment.
Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, where the Memphis Tigers play their home football games, is in the midst of a $220 million renovation.
Brown’s “Breezy Bowl XX” tour would have been the first major concert at the stadium since 1997, when the rock band U2 played at what was then the Liberty Bowl.
An R&B star who has released 11 albums in the past 20 years, Brown was the tour’s headlining artist, with singer/rappers Jhene Aiko and Bryson Tiller also on the bill. The current leg of the tour began Oct. 3 in Atlanta, and was scheduled to end in Memphis, following an Oct. 16 show at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Brown previously performed in Memphis at FedExForum in 2011.
